Every parent can relate when it comes to bringing baby home for the first time. There’s the first time putting baby in the car seat, first car ride, sitting in the back seat with them, going home for the first time, and first sleep at home!
I think it’s pretty universal that as first time parents, many of us have the same feelings of excitement as well as apprehension bringing baby home for the first time!
For myself, there was a little more drama with Little One being born at 28 weeks gestation. There was the whole air ambulance trip, hospital bed rest, “spontaneous birth” (Yes! That’s what was written in her chart after she canon-balled her way into the world!), 72 days in the NICU and a huge roller coaster ride of emotions.
After our life in the NICU, we got to take Little One home. Then it sank in…Wow! We’re bringing baby home!
I have to say that I was really impressed to discover that Pampers makes diapers for even the tiniest babies. The hospital we were at used Pampers Preemie/Size P for the preemies in the NICU. Though the hospital provides preemie diapers for the preemies in the NICU, something I just learned and think parents should know is that parents need to bring diapers to the hospital with them.
Pampers Size P (for preemies) were the diapers we used when we brought Little One home. I was so thankful to have diapers that fit my tiny baby! Little One was 980 grams at birth and when we brought her home from the hospital, she was 5 lbs! Finding a diaper that fit such a small baby would be a challenge had we not had Pampers. Even Hubby thought Pampers Size P fit Little One really well. He really liked the fact that the yellow line turns blue when baby has wet the diaper. The indicator line was one of Hubby’s favourite Pampers features.
It’s no surprise that Pampers Swaddlers is the #1 Choice of Canadian parents and hospitals for newborn babies.
I remember when my brother and his wife had their twins and they used Pampers on their girls. It’s a brand they trusted and preferred for fit and leakage protection.
Speaking of leakage protection, I was chatting with a friend recently and she said she loves that Pampers’ 12 hour leakage protection helps her baby sleep through the night without waking up with a leaky diaper. Yes, Pampers has Mom’s back from birth to potty training with Cruisers and Easy Ups for baby at each stage.
Have you heard of Pampers Village (pampers.ca)? It’s a loyalty program that enables consumers to redeem rewards for every package of Pampers purchased, exclusive coupon offer, newsletters with parenting tips, and exclusive promotions. Discover all the benefits you can get by joining over 500,000 Canadian parents! I’m a member! Despite the fact that Little One is now in Junior Kindergarten, I still enjoy reading what’s on pampers.ca. It’s a great resource for new and experienced moms as baby moves through the stages. Plus, who knows if Little One will have a sibling in the future?
For new moms, getting a tailored newsletter for baby based on their stage is a great thing! I also like letting friends know about the exclusive rewards and coupons they can get from Pampers Rewards. Let’s face it, moms (first time or veteran) can always use the support of a community and being able to share experiences with other moms. This is what it’s like on the Pampers Canada Facebook page! Chat about everything from bringing baby home for the first time, baby sleeping through the night, and more!
I was just talking about Pampers with my best friend yesterday and smiled when she said, “Pampers is like wrapping your baby’s bottom in a cloud”. I love that!
